Yad Vashem Wins Praise
Ynet News
I
srael's Yad Vashem Holocaust
Memorial has been ranked fourth
among the world's top 25 museums
by the popular TripAdvisor travel web-
site, which relies on reviews and com-
ments of tourists and travelers from all
around the world.
The website's visitors praised the
museum's "moving and informative
displays" and said that visiting Yad
Vashem was an "emotional, educational
and inspiring" experience and "a must
for any human."
TripAdvisor also awarded Yad
Vashem with the 2013 Certificate of
Excellence, which is given to outstand-
ing institutions that have received
praise and recognition in reviews by
the website's travelers.
In order to receive the Certificate of
Excellence, the tourist site must main-
tain an overall ranking of at least four
of five stars in visitors' reviews.
Yad Vashem is currently ranked first
among Jerusalem's 146 attractions and
has been named the most recommend-
ed place to visit in the holy city.
Yad Vashem has nearly one million
visitors annually, mostly tourists. The
museum recently unveiled a new exhi-
bition, "I Am My Brother's Keeper,"
marking 50 years of recognizing saviors
of Jews and dedicated it to the 24,811
people from 47 countries who have
been honored as "Righteous Among the
Nations:'
Korean Christians Apologize
In related news, a group of tourists
from Korea entered Jerusalem's city
center last weekend, handing out flyers
apologizing for Christianity's atrocities
against the Jewish people.
According to the tourists, a visit to
the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum
prompted them to go out and seek
the forgiveness of Jewish people. Yet a
member of an organization protesting
missionary activity says the group's real
goal is to appease Jews and bring them
closer to the Christian religion.
In the leaflets, the tourists expressed
their apology for the acts of murder
and plunder during the Crusades and
for the murder of six million Jews dur-
ing the Holocaust, which they said the
Christian Church kept quiet about.
"All this torment you suffered for
1,700 years in the Christian world is
our fault:' the translated flyers read
One of the tourists explained that the
group had recently toured Yad Vashem
and was shocked by the terrible sights
of what Jews experienced during the
Holocaust, which made them go out on
the streets and express regret.
Some of the passersby who received
the apology notes were moved by the
odd gesture, and stayed to talk to the
group members. Others see it as an ini-
tiative by Christian missionaries inter-
ested in propagating the Christian faith
among Jews.
